Tragically this is not about a muppet with a cowboy hat.
WELCOME BACK to Just Might Exist, where Lindsey and Erica talk about anything and everything that just might exist. This week, Erica is talking about the Big Bird Of Texas! It features bad geography, mispronunciation, and us quitting the podcast too many times in 30 minutes. Anyway as we've said words are hard. This is a Noelle only episode. Also peep the Instagram for Erica's sick bird chart.
